Two versions of Grandma Loretta’s stuffing are in the oven: regular and gluten free. Some (very out of season but looking oh so good) asparagus is ready for roasting. I’ll be bringing this over to my aunt’s to have with organic free range turkey and other goodness this afternoon.

I could list all the things I’m thankful for, but frankly that would take too long. I deserve none of it but am so grateful for the real things in my life, like a loving wife, family, friends and having all the “basics” covered like a roof over my head, food in my belly and…

I’ll be supplementing the chickens with some home-made lentils soup and ginger mashed sweet potatoes. The lentils have a base of fried mushrooms and mirepoix,…
